Why Europe is Building a $34BN Transport Mega-Hub

Switzerland is building a new 17km tunnel to save one of Europe’s most important transport routes. The project expands the A2 road, which passes under the Alps via the Gotthard Road Tunnel.
But the structure has begun to deteriorate, putting the future of this critical corridor in jeopardy. Which is why a second tube is now being built — one that will free up the old tunnel for restoration. It’s a scheme that can’t be allowed to fail, but it’s already having to overcome a big setback.
This image, shared by SBG's Executive Director Ian Miller, captured the latest construction progress on the structure as it moves towards its 2028 completion date.
